There is No Problem with the Youth Under the Snow

There was Hiratsuka's quiet sigh.

A sigh may mean helplessness.

"I promised Yang Nai her before."

"Will take good care of her sister at school."

"However, it now appears that I failed to keep my promise."

Hiratsuka-sensei said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, playing with the lighter in his hand.

"Thank you for your comfort and concern."

"However, as a teacher, I haven't fallen to the point where you worry."

Hiratsuka-sensei spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Oh, is it?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

A long question sentence came out of Shi Yu's mouth.

"The teacher's appearance is really unconvincing."

With an unhappy expression, Hiratsuka-sensei did not react to Shi Yu's words.

Like, whatever you say.

Is this the so-called adult's slack?

She then switched to staring straight at the three of them with stern eyes.

"So, that's the question, can you tell me the reason for doing this, or why I'm telling you these things."

"If I can't come up with a good reason, I won't tell you."

Hiratsuka-sensei spoke bluntly with a playful expression on his face as he usually taught students.

"Teacher, do you still remember the opportunity for the establishment of the Ministry of Service?"

Shi Yu showed a win-win smile on her face and looked at her seriously.

"Opportunity?" x2

Does the establishment of the service club have a lot to do with Hiratsuka-sensei?

The two of them had never heard of such a thing, their ears pricked up in an instant, and they listened very carefully to the conversation they were going to have next.

"I feel that it is necessary for me to know about this for the future after serving the Ministry."

After listening to Shi Yu's words, Jing didn't say anything.

Instead, he turned his attention to Yin Lili.

Her eyes were like asking "how about you", urging her to speak.

"As a childhood sweetheart, I want to know more about her."

She opens with firm facts that seem to infuse her words with strength.

And Yuhihama looked at Shizuo seriously without hesitation.

"I just want to know more about Xiaoxue!"

Not confused, she said with great determination.

Her attitude made Shi Yu and Yin Lili speechless.

Hiratsuka-sensei smiled a little after listening to them.

"In that case, it seems that each has its own reasons."

"But from my teacher's point of view, only Yubihama-san is qualified."

Her tone was messy, but her voice was very gentle.

"If I use an analogy, suppose we come to explore Kasumigaoka. You are not speaking from the standpoint of serving the club, but your own will. So are you serving the future of the club? Or is it for Yukinoshita?"

"Sawamura, if it wasn't because of your childhood sweetheart, you wouldn't have any reason to care about this matter?"

The two people in front of them were stunned by what she suddenly said.

"Ah. Well, isn't it..."

Shi Yu and Eri Ri muttered words that seemed to be trying to get away with it, while racking their brains to think about how to answer.

Jing glanced at them lightly, as if seeing through their little thoughts.Without waiting for Shi Yu and Ying Riri to answer, they continued talking to themselves.

"...Well, although I'm just making an analogy."

"But the place to think about it is why you want to know, after you've discarded other reasons for deceiving yourself."

"That answer should be easy for you to figure out."

"I think sometimes it's more helpful to be honest with things."

Hiratsuka-sensei stared straight at them and said the last sentence.It's like not allowing them to refute, not allowing them to avoid their eyes.

Her expression always seemed a little lonely.Then, she said softly in a gentle, warm voice.
